Family Photographer

Additionally to my wedding photography, I often shoot family photography sessions. I like to call them “Day in the Life” shoots, as they aren’t really portrait sessions.

I prefer to shoot these sessions as an observer, much like I shoot my wedding photography. In most cases, I spend a morning, or afternoon – sometimes the whole day, simply watching and shooting.

My clients love the fact that they get honest, authentic memories of these very special times.

Whilst a lot of my clients for the family photography shoots are past wedding clients, I also shoot the day in the life projects for older couples and families with older children too.

I’ve even been commissioned to photograph a Caesarian Birth and I would love to shoot more family and social documentaries like the ones you see below.

Family Photographer: Meet Lenny

I’d love you to start exploring this part of my website with the following Photofilm of Lenny.

I’ve been the family photographer, documenting this family for the past six years and it all starts with birth:

I am an official Fujifilm ambassador, and occasionally Fujifilm will fly over from Tokyo to make a film about me and my work.

In this film, to the left, I am with my own family on our summer vacation in the South of Spain.

The film shows off my own personal family photography and a little of my philosophy on photographing families.

What is a Documentary Family Photographer?

In very simple terms, documentary family photography is the process of capturing moments, un-staged and un-contrived, of everyday life.

I believe for my family photography that true candid images will last a lifetime and can help clients relive the memories of their very precious family time together.

I have documented births, marriages and everything else in between.

Please feel free to explore more of my family photography.

Below you will see some more examples of my work as a Documentary Family Photographer
